I opted for their fish and chips. It was juicy and lightly breaded. I was very pleased with my lunch. My husband wasn't too hungry and he ordered their clam chowder. It had a lot of clams and potatoes. It was flavorful and rich... very good. The ambience is casual, nothing fancy. It is a great pit stop for a quick meal.

Having been to this place several times, I'm sorry I didn't write a review previously. This is a…read morefamily favorite, their fish and chips are always reliable, with better than average fries complimenting the better than average fried fish. On our last visit, we decided to try something other than our go to (the aforementioned fish and chips) and tried their grilled rockfish dinner. It was a great choice! Nicely cooked through without being dry, it had a nice flavor that reflects the freshness of the fish. We also did their Baja fish tacos. We all agreed it was one of the messiest, tastiest fish tacos we'd had in awhile. Generous piece of rockfish, with a sauce that compliments, not overwhelms the fish. Unfortunately my sons aren't fans of raw fish (I should do one of those genetic tests to see if they're really my offspring, but I digress), I nonetheless will find an occasion to try their seared ahi tuna which I'll have on the rare side. They can enjoy something else, so there. Still, if it's a first time visit, it's hard to go wrong with their fish and chips. Enjoy!

We sat at the bar, had a couple drinks and ordered a few things to snack on. Service was great--friendly, attentive and we never had to hunt anyone down for another drink, which is always a plus! We ordered the Schooners Seafood Tower, although "tower" is being a little generous lol. It's more of a seafood platter served over ice with oysters, shrimp, crab, mussels and tuna poke. Everything was fresh and the presentation was nice. Is it some huge over-the-top seafood tower??? Nooooo lol, but this also isn't that kind of restaurant and I wasn't expecting it to be. The tuna poke was probably my least favorite. It wasn't BAD, it just didn't do much for me and I've definitely had better. Now the Big Little Lies cocktail...that was another story!!! Delicious and I would absolutely order that again. We only stopped in for appetizers and a few drinks, so I can't really judge the entire menu without coming back for an actual dinner. Location, atmosphere and service get the 4 stars from me. The food? Jury is still out...looks like I'll have to go back and eat some more. Tough job, but somebody has to do it! ;)

The calamari is also good, featuring a light, crispy breading but was not greasy.

This came with a side of squash, swiss chard, and rice. The rice was just a tad under but still edible. Linguini calamari & clams- Plenty of fresh seafood in a light lemon sauce. Well done!!

Food and drinks were okay at best. The $20 "top shelf" margarita was just sour mix in a tall glass (ABSOLUTE RED FLAG) -- no agave, no fresh lime, not worth it and not a real margarita just sugar water. The $58 halibut special was oddly flavored (sweet, balsamic, horseradish) with nothing else standing out, and the calamari was floppy with sauce that tasted like it was about to turn. Bread was genuinely good, though. Hope the other menu options are better but honestly, skip the sit-down menu -- grab clam chowder from the outside window and save your money.

The bar wasn't busy, so we were able to grab seats right in front of the TV, which made it the perfect place to catch the match. The bartender was super attentive while still giving us plenty of time to look over the menu without feeling rushed. We ordered a dirty martini and a spicy margarita, along with a half dozen oysters and the Margarita Flatbread to snack on. The oysters were fresh, large, and definitely the highlight of our meal. The flatbread was decent--it hit the spot, but I think it could have used a little more flavor to really stand out. The cocktails were well made and paired nicely with the food. One of the best parts of this spot is the location. The ocean views are beautiful, and from our seats at the bar we could even see otters swimming in the water, which made for such a fun dining experience.

This was a classic New England-style chowder done right. It was rich, creamy, and packed with flavor without feeling overly heavy. The sourdough bread bowl was perfectly crisp on the outside while still soft enough to enjoy with the chowder. Easily one of the top three clam chowders I've ever had. The New England Lobster Roll was a pleasant surprise. I'm usually not the biggest lobster fan, but I genuinely enjoyed this one. The bread was soft and buttery, and the lobster had a nice savory flavor with just a subtle hint of sweetness that balanced everything well. If you're a lobster fan, or even if you're on the fence like I was. I'd definitely recommend giving it a try. The only disappointment was the garlic bread. It was unfortunately over-toasted and very hard, so I'd probably skip it next time. Service was fast, efficient, and attentive throughout the meal. The restaurant was clean with a casual atmosphere, making it a great spot for a quick bite with family or friends. Overall, I'd happily come back, especially for that incredible clam chowder.
